Old Man Winter Just Won't Leave

This is my son in his first track meet as a participant. His sister also competes in the pole vault. Who would have guessed? I never tried to encourage or move them into a particular sport. I figure this is something that you do out of passion. It was only after my daughter switched from hurdling to vaulting that I admitted that I had once done the same. We will see if this insanity continues to run through the family.

As I sit here and write this I am listening to the wind howling outside of my window. There is a late season winter storm cooking up that has the potential for heavy snow and blizard conditions for much of the state. The area where I am located will be right on the rain/snow border for the beginning of the party. It will probably be more intense to the north of us, but you know how those weather guys are. They build it up for everyone, and sometimes, they are right.

The only comforting thougth in this is that whatever falls in solid form will not stick around long as we are supposed to be up in the fifties and sixties next week. I think I'll just let it melt.

PS That's me in the red jacket up in the bleachers.
